Wave Alchemy Transistor Revolution MKII brings the character of classic TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines into a deeply sampled Kontakt instrument. Built from 25,000 samples, it captures a detailed range of vintage electronic drum tones for house, techno, electro, hip-hop and other beat-driven styles. Program grooves with the TR-style 16-track step sequencer, adjust swing and shuffle, and keep patterns locked to your host tempo. A dedicated 10-track mixer provides individual drum processing, pan, volume and reverb/delay sends, while per-sound tape saturation adds extra coloration. Individual tuning controls and RAM-saving options help you tailor both the kit and your session. It suits producers who want hands-on drum-machine sequencing with detailed sampled sound. The Kontakt version requires the full registered Kontakt 5.2.1 or later and does not work with the free Kontakt Player; separate Live 9 and NI Maschine formats are also available.
